[QUOTE="Steve Fisher, post: 2253201, member: 516473"] I’m a type 1 diabetic, since 1961 who, has had 2 transplants of insulin cells and I’m 67 years young. When the Covid pandemic started some weeks ago I obviously shielded myself. I some how expected a letter from the Government confirming that I should shield myself. After the deadline date for issued letters I started to wonder who was responsible to ensure that I had been put forward by either my GP or the Transplant clinic / diabetes clinic I attend. When I contacted my Transplant Clinic I was told to self refer myself ( implying that it was my responsibility ) os that’s what I did ! The reply from NHS England was a section cut out from the current legislation. This section basically said it was the the duty of 3 areas, these being My local council, My GP and my transplant/diabetic clinic. I informed my transplant team and attached the email NHS England sent me. Now some 4 and a bit weeks of self isolation I still await any sort of a letter even though I’m now told that all the transplant insulin cell patients had now been listed and sent to NHS England, but still I await. Is this what the NHS England think of other diabetics like me? [/QUOTE]
